Hamilton, New Zealand

Hamilton Revisited
Well, I was very pleased with your pictures. I spent a bit of time in Hamilton on a drive from Auckland to Wellington. I loved the area and the city was indeed quite nice and the people fantastic. I hope that those passing through do stop and appreciate its quality of life. RG Shaw
